…the way many, if not most Brits use water in the home
*After all, why have an instant warming shower, where you can step in every day, soap and clean all the parts, have a last warm (or cool) splash, step out and use less water…
when you can run a bath three times a week (or less) using more water and taking longer getting the mix right, climb in, get up and down a couple of times to soap and then rinse the parts, then lie back in a rapidly cooling tub, with a soapy scum lapping around you, and heave your body out when the air is getting colder?
*And why have two sinks side by side in the kitchen, with draining board either side on which to place two drying racks, enough to take all crockery and cutlery from a dinner party…
when you can have one sink, with a plastic bowl in it ?…
and be driven to buying a dishwasher for lots of money, using lots of soaps, and electricity, and bending down to rinse and stack, instead of doing just that in your double sink and drying racks, while you can look out of the window?
*Any why bother to leave space for ice trays in the fridge, when you can put in other things, and have no ice for drinks?
(all this observed from my very own dearest London families)
…the way most, if not all Muslims, go along with the texts which say men must treat women differently, often as property, and surround girls’ and women’s lives with rules and controls.
